Observation of contact angle hysteresis due to inhomogeneous electric fields
Communications Physics, 2021 Wetting of surfaces can be affected by surface roughness, presence of surface chemical defects, or by electric fields. Here, the authors perform electrowetting experiments on microstriped electrodes and show that the droplet’s static contact angle ...

Studying of the Contact Angle Hysteresis on Various Surfaces
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016 This paper is devoted to investigation of the contact angle hysteresis on various surfaces. It was carried out by two different methods: measuring the advancing and the receding contact angles and measuring the contact angles at water droplet evaporation

Water-Repellency and Anisotropic Wettability of Micro-Grooved Polymer Surfaces [PDF]
한국정밀공학회지, 2020 Superhydrophobicity and anisotropic wettability can be simultaneously achieved by simple groove pattern on a surface. To verify those characteristics experimentally, we fabricated the micro-grooved surfaces with four different groove widths.

Apparent contact angle and contact angle hysteresis on liquid infused surfaces [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2017 The apparent contact angle and contact angle hysteresis of a droplet on liquid infused surfaces have strong dependence on the relative size between the droplet and its surrounding wetting ridge.

Closed-Form Expressions for Contact Angle Hysteresis: Capillary Bridges between Parallel Platens
Colloids and Interfaces, 2020 A closed form expression capable of predicting the evolution of the shape of liquid capillary bridges and the resultant force between parallel platens is derived. Such a scenario occurs within many micro-mechanical structures and devices, for example, in
